Hello. Because programming is one of my favorite hobbies I started a small project in python.
I'm trying to make a nutritional calculator for daily routine, see the code below:
# Name: nutri.py
# Author: pyn
my_dict = {'chicken':(40, 50, 10),
'pork':(50, 30, 20)
}
foods = raw_input("Enter your food: ")
#explode / split the user input
foods_list = foods.split(',')
#returns a list separated by comma
print foods_list
What I want to do:
1. Get user input and store it in a variable
2. Search the dictionary based on user input and return the asociated values if the keys / foods exists
3. Sum these values in different nutritional chunks and return them, something like: You ate x protein, y carbs and z fat etc.
Any ideas are welcome and sorry for my bad english.
